Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a haircut, I walked to the cash register, handed the hairdresser a $20 bill and said, "Keep the change." He looked at me with a blank expression and replied, "The haircut costs 25 dollars." FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, I got my hair cut. When I was leaving, my stylist was standing fairly close while we were talking. She reached out to smooth out my hair; I went in for a hug. She didn't want a hug. Everyone who was there just stared at me until I left the building. FML
Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML
Today, as a college student on a budget, I treated myself to a haircut. The stylist asked if I liked it, even though it was much shorter than I wanted, and I said yes. When I got home, my roommate asked if I had joined the military. My mom asked if I was OK. I'm wearing hats for the foreseeable future. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut and the first thing the lady asked was, "So, do you want to keep the mullet?" What mullet?! FML
Today, I got my hair cut short, as it hasn’t been cut in well over a year and I was getting sick of dealing with it. I told the hairdresser I would probably look like a boy but she said it would look cute, and that she’d make sure it looks feminine. I loved how it came out, until the kid at CVS asked, “Can I help you sir?” FML
Today, I unwittingly told the barber, “Do whatever you think looks best.” He got creative. Forty-five minutes later, I walked out with a haircut that made me look like a backup dancer in a 1990s boy band. My girlfriend said, “You're going to have to wear a beanie if you want to walk around with me.” FML
Today, the checkout guy at my local store asked me if I had my hair cut. I answered and started talking about my hair, and he gave me a really weird look. He was talking to his friend, who I hadn't noticed in the queue behind me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

@ Boddom: Have you never met one of those people whom one has to "handle with care" because they have a tendency to misinterpret anything people tell them. For example, I went shopping with a friend and told her that she shouldn't buy the coat she was trying on because it made her look bulky. Although the thought never crossed my mind, she is certain that I was calling her fat and trying to be diplomatic about it. My point is, it might have been just an innocent (and quite uninspired) comment made by the receptionist, who was actually thinking that the OP needed a hat because he/she would be cold and the OP just misunderstood. Also, the OP said they thanked the stylist......if the haircut was so bad that it needed to be hidden , I think the OP would have been irritated, not thankful and willling to pay.

Depends on the type of person, some people don't have it in them to take out their anger in public and do something such as refuse to pay. Maybe the haircut was in fact really bad but OP didn't have the heart to do anything about it. I know many people like that.

OP is an oversensitive moron

Maybe she just meant that your hair was so nice and you needed a nice hat to go with it.

Maybe she was saying you would need a hat to keep your hair from getting messed up. Like if you got a blow-out or something you wouldn't want snow or rain to get it wet and ruin it...?

Yes, because a hat wouldn't mess up your new hairdo or anything. Ever heard of "hat hair"?

girlygirl666 [[I nearly gagged typing your name btw]], ever heard of a brush or comb? It fixes bed head and hat hair. Brushes do not fix wet hair from rain and snow, but a hat does protect your hair from being blown everywhere by the wind--especially if the OP were to encounter watery circumstances that could get her sick with a slight breeze. OP, life isn't serious business. Get over it--it's hair. It grows back. And you don't like it, then maybe you should have said something before you thanked the stylist.

Of course the FMLs are shitty now. But they were at the beginning too. Go look at the last page of FMLs, from the very first day. There's nothing FML worthy about them. On another note - Has anyone else noticed that FML decided to start moderating comments that say anything bad about this website now? I wouldn't be suprised if this comment gets moderated too. Go look at the FML about butterfly toilet paper, half the comments haved been mod'ed and comments are now deactivated. So not only is the website going down the drain, but they refuse to let us speak our minds. :/
